By far the easiest way of upgrading your kernel is to do so using a
stock kernel RPM as provided by Red Hat. These RPM files contain
pre-compiled binary kernel code, with support for a large variety of
hardware and popular features.

Installing a stock kernel is easy to do and involves little risk.
Simply type, as root, the following sequence of commands:

rpm -Uvh kernel-2.0.36.i386.rpmcd /bootls

Make note of the new kernel name, as reported by the
``ls'' command above. You are interested in the
``vmlinuz'' file; for example the
third RPM release of kernel 2.0.36 would look like
``vmlinuz-2.0.36-3''.

Now, use an editor to edit the LILO configuation file (type:
``pico -w /etc/lilo.conf'') and change the
``image=/boot/...'' line to point to the new kernel
file. After you have done so, type
``/sbin/lilo''. If LILO reports
an error message, double-check the file name in your
``lilo.conf'' file with the file
name in the ``/boot/''
directory.
